Rising Democratic star Megan Barry is expected to resign as Mayor of Nashville at a hastily scheduled press conference that will be held at Nashville City Hall at 10 a.m. central on Tuesday, according to The Tennessean and other local media outlets.

Barry admitted on January 31 that she had a two-year-long affair with her bodyguard, former Metro Nashville Police Department Sgt. Rob Forrest, as Breitbart News reported:

WTH? I kinda thought this stuff was standard practice for the alt left radical extremist party. Must be more to the story than a mere extramarital affair. Guess she didn't get any pointers from billy the dog huh? Now Nashville will probably elect a conservative right? LOL! Not likely with all them lib c&w entertainers in the vicinity.

I’m truly shocked... that a Democrat would resign over something like this. Only Republicans are supposed to quit after the discovery of this sort of misbehavior. Didn’t she get the memo? She was supposed to (1) laugh off her prudish critics; or (2) claim persecution for sexism, racism or homophobia; or (3) blame alcohol and say she’s going to rehab.

She plead guilty to theft of over $10,000 in a plea bargain where she gets a 3 year suspended sentence and 3 years unsupervised probation and pays $11,000 in restitution. After probation she will get the conviction expunged.

I live near Nashville and her resignation comes as no surprise to most. Even the far left newspaper of record, the Tennessean, was calling for her resignation. It basically boiled down to her inability to be an effective mayor while this was hanging over her.
